The board ran out an uneventful and that was all she wrote for Crivell.

As for Gustavson, he recently spoke to PokerNews as a part of their popular Where Are They Now series. "Deciding on what events to play is usually based on if I win a satellite on PokerStars," Gustavson said. "I decided to go to Asia with a friend last year because we wanted to check out Macau and literally spur of the moment booked a flight and went. I don't have some systematic way of deciding on what events to go to or not go to, it's usually pretty impulsive."
